This bank, located about three miles southeast of Swedeborg, is situated in the breaks bordering the Gasconade river on the west. According to B. F. Shumard, who visited the property during the 60's, the outcrop covers several acres and consists of large and small boulders of specular ore. No developments have been made, although it would appear from Shumard's description, that the deposit is quite extensive.
